Kleven has signed a contract with Alesund-based ship owner Volstad Maritime on the delivery of two offshore construction vessels (OCV). The vessels will be delivered from Kleven’s Myklebust Verft in December 2014 and Q2 2015.

Volstad originally placed the orders with Bergen Group Fosen, but the projects have now been sold to Kleven. The vessels are of ST 259 CD design from Skipsteknisk, and the sister vessel ‘Grand Canyon’ was delivered from Bergen Group to Volstad in 2012.

‘It is two large and highly advanced vessels for subsea maintenance and construction work that we’re now going to deliver from Myklebust Verft, and we very much look forward to working with the Volstad family again. Back in 1988, we built the trawler ‘Volstad’ for the Volstad family,’ said Stale Rasmussen, CEO of Kleven.
